-=PCTechTalk=- Re: modem wont connect, help

Uninstall all listed modems, reboot.
If you don't have a CD that came with modem, then let Windows 
recognize/install it.
If you do have a CD that came with modem, do not let Windows install 
modem on bootup (cancel), but run the install from the modem CD instead.
